Due to how federation works, downvotes are actually somewhat public because instance owners can query them in lemmy database, though instance owners probably won’t tell you if you ask due to privacy reason. If you’re interested in something like this, you can run your own instance.

Man, if it were me, I’d probably bit the bullet and bought a new motherboard instead of returning the processor. With my luck, I’ll probably run into some issues with the ram sticks and bought some new ones. Heck, maybe I’ll run into some issues with the old gpu and buy a new one too! Then the psu would probably need to be upgraded to power the new gpu. The temperature would probably kinda hot so the case must be replaced with new one with better cooling. Heck, now the monitor is too shitty for the hardware and need to be replaced with a new one with hdr and high refresh rate. Then the mouse would suddenly died and need to buy a new one too.

He wouldn’t make that statement unless he experienced the horror himself.

Now, if he still does it these days…

Ah, must’ve been a fortran developer. I swear they have this ability to make the shortest yet the least memorable variable names. E.g. was the variable called APFLWS or APFLWD? Impossible to remember without going back and forth to recheck the definition. Autocomplete won’t help you because both variables exist.

When I was a teenager, I made a page in Word, saved it as html, then uploaded it to geocities. Good times.

It would be nice if the prisoners could take class or earn a degree while in prison, at least when they get out they have a new skill or a degree so they have a better chance to get a job to pay off their prison debt.

Google Reader was the best. Not sure why Google killed it, but it was really good at both content discovery and keeping up with sites you’re interested in. I tried several alternatives but nothing came close, so I gave up and hung out more on forums / link aggregators like slashdot, hacker news, reddit and now lemmy for content discovery. I’m also interested to hear what others use.

I thought they were using natural materials like ground coffee. Did some of them actually use plastic beads?

Abusing students is fine in Hogwarts, but licking is apparently unacceptable.
